Regis University is a small, co-ed, Jesuit University located in Northern Denver. The campus is a gorgeous arboretum, consisting of over 1,000 trees, 80 genuses, and 290 species. Because of the size, its easy to get to know your peers, professors, and the surrounding community quickly, and finding your place is a natural process.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you are interested in going to Regis University, I would suggest getting involved in extracurriculars that intrest you! While it is important to be academically successful, Regis admissions tends to look at the individual as a whole rather than just numbers. Students who have leadership roles, experience working with others, and who have been recognized for their passions in specific areas thrive at Regis.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
At Regis, every class you take will require time, work, and effort, but it is well worth it. The classes are interesting and engaging. Because of how small the class sizes are, it is rare to be in a lecture-style course. A lot of courses revolve around discussion, team-based learning, and community involvement.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm life has been so fun! Freshman dorms are small, and community bathrooms are never fun, but I actually really enjoyed my time in the dorms. I got to know the girls on my floor quickly and I made a lot of new friends. The worst part about the dorms were the thin walls.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Regis food easily outranks a large majority of the universities in Colorado, and probably the nation. Our food is prepared and served by Bon Appetit. Food is grown locally, made from scratch, and is delicious! Kosher, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options are given every day, and accommodating those with allergies is never an issue. Food is made to order, and everything is always fresh!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
On campus there are a lot of clubs and different groups for students to take advantage of. One of the most popular groups on campus is OAP, our Outdoor Adventure Program. OAP takes students camping over weekends, on day hikes, trailrides, climbing adventures, and so much more. Also, every week a newsletter is sent out saying what events and special guests are going to be on campus. Different performers, speakers, concerts, and demonstrations are always going on, so its hard to get too bored during the week. There is also a lot to do in Denver, but I'm not even going to try to list all that off.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The sticker price for Regis is high, but they give out generous amounts of scholarships and aid.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There isn't any offical greek life on campus, however, class of 2021 are trying to start a Frat chapter.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus is located in Federal Heights, an area in Denver that is currently undergoing the process of gentrification. This means that a lot of lower income people and their families are being displaced from their homes, and there is a higher crime rate than usual. However, the campus itself is safe, and is doing a lot to try to help these families and the surrounding community.
